now the obama administration is expected to put forward a new chief. it could be todd jones, some people think. the problem is he would have to give up his other job, for which he is senate-confirmed, which is the u.s. attorney in minnesota. keep in mind, what the caller just talked about, there's still this ongoing discussion which has always been at a simmer as to whether or not we should just get rid of the agency. so many issues. perhaps you give it to thousand or so agents to the fbi or d.e.a. or some other agency and put off the regulatory powers. the nra opposes that idea. host: edward is on the democratic line from kentucky. caller: yes. if the u.s. could initiate a buyback program on these assault weapons, give them to holder, let him sell them to the mexican drug cartels, take the profits and pay down the debt. host: he's talking about issues with a fast and furious. explain what that situation has been for folks not familiar with the investigation. guest: there was an investigation in phoenix at the atf office which was focused on trying to

i think if you looked at the first term of the obama administration, president obama -- it was quite natural for him to pick then-senator clinton to be secretary of state and keep bob gates on as secretary of defense. i think in the second term, he is not running for re-election. he will pick somebody he is comfortable with, which is senator haggel and senator kerry. i do think one has to ask why the president is willing to make a fight in the nomination over secretary hagel as opposed to susan rice. i think steve would agree to this, one of the things that should be done in the hearings for the nomination is give much more clarity about where this administration is going. it is all fine and good to talk about the limits of power. everybody should understand our limits to power. that can be an excuse for not exercising power. i think that debate can be useful when put on the table when talking about senator hagel. >> hear the table, gary schmitt, the co-director for the -- and steve clemons the editor at large @ "the atlantic." we will get your comments in just a moment. i want to po
